8. He's trying to dictate curriculum. Bad, bad bad. However,

classes about religion have a place in public schools. I think it's great if children learn more about the religions of the world.

I wonder which Christian bible he would like to use? There could be a whole lot of contrversy right there.

:D

10. Two points about this

On the one hand, if it's being taught as literature, fine. The guy pushing it as literature seems not to realise that literature is usually fiction. :evilgrin:

Second, "Projected costs to the state and local school district are about $200 million, legislative analysts said."

WHAT THE BLEEDING HELL¹???? The state is going bankrupt, and these "conservatives" want to spend another 200 million dollars to put Bibles in all our schools?

He needs to brush up on where to find Old and New Testament books.

12. when they teach:

the koran, the analects, the vedas, the talmud, and the buddhist canon...sure let them use the bible as a textbook.

[TreasonousBastard]

13. The mind continues to boggle.

I just can't take it any more.

Almanacs, no pee lines in airplanes, fingerprints, Mexicans, Bibles...

My head hurts.

It hurts bad.

WHEN IS THIS BULLSHIT GOING TO STOP???????????

[Sugarbleus]

14. My exact sentiments too TB....

Anymore and I'm going to stroke out. Had to take a few days off to "rest" my brain.

The BS is deep enough to swim in now!!

[truthisfreedom]
